Why Workplace Drug & Alcohol Screening Matters

Drug and alcohol screening is a critical component of workplace safety, risk management, and regulatory compliance. Helping Hands Warming Hearts Screening partners with employers and community organizations across Pennsylvania to provide professional screening services that support safer workplaces, reduce risk, and help organizations meet their obligations with confidence.

Protecting People & Productivity

Workplace substance misuse can lead to accidents, injuries, absenteeism, and reduced productivity. Implementing a structured drug and alcohol screening program helps identify risk early, promotes safer work environments, and reinforces a culture of accountability and well-being.

Reducing Organizational Risk

Screening isn’t just about identifying substance use — it plays an important role in compliance and liability mitigation. Many industries require screening as part of safety and regulatory standards. By partnering with a professional screening provider, organizations can ensure tests are administered accurately and results are handled confidentially and compliantly

Supporting Employees with Respect

Drug and alcohol screening programs can also support employees struggling with substance use. When part of a well-defined workplace policy, screening can facilitate early intervention, access to support resources, and a clear framework for accountability and recovery — helping individuals stay safe and productive.

Screening Best Practices

Best-in-class screening programs are:

  • Clear about when and how testing occurs

  • Aligned with federal and state regulations

  • Administered through certified laboratories

  • Communicated transparently to employees and candidates

​

Working with an experienced screening provider helps organizations build a drug policy that is both compliant and operationally effective.
